I would recommend cturtle, since it&#39;s now fixed except for bug fixes as well.  boxturtle and cturtle can communicate at the ROS level, but there may have  been message changes since boxturtle that would render you unable to communicate (though you could just update the messages to the cturtle versions).  One of the larger changes that I&#39;m aware of is the new PointCloud2 message, which didn&#39;t exist in boxturtle at all.<div>

 Dear Josh,<br>
<br>
If I build the ros APIs with MSVC I would like to do it once and then<br>
forget about it. So what source should I take? I like boxturtle because<br>
this is fixed. Are the messages and communication in general compatible<br>
to cturtle and later?<br>
